WordPress 3.4 Released

WordPress just released version 3.4. This version has several new enhancements for easy theme customization, expanded photo caption options, and posting of Twitter links. It also includes a huge number of behind the scenes enhancements that streamline and improve overall performance.

The theme customizer lets you easily change header graphics, titles and background colors on compatible themes. All changes show in real time so you can see the effect without having to publish them first.

Picture captions can now include web links. Embedded Twitter links are now automatically supported. Simply insert a twitter link on a line by itself, and WordPress will format it into a beautiful embedded tweet.

Behind the scenes updates include a number of improvements to the multi-site version of WordPress.

As usual, we don’t recommend immediately installing brand new updates. We prefer to give them a couple weeks to find any last minute bugs before we put them on production sites. Always backup your site AND YOUR DATABASES before installing any updates.

Feel free to contact Main Street if we can help you with your updates or backups.
